According to Game Watch, Japanese developer Tomy has announced that it is developing Zoids Versus for Nintendo GameCube. The title is based on the toys by the same name, which let you customize beasts with all different kinds of weapons and upgrades. On GameCube, Zoids Versus will pit you in large open environments against other Zoids. As you win battles you will get battle points to buy new parts for your Zoids and increase your abilities. More interestingly, the name of the game is "Zoids Versus" most likely because you can play with a friend in a two-player mode.

The first screenshots of Zoids Versus display decently rendered characters, but barren landscapes. On a positive note, Tomy says that it has matched similar animation as seen in the CG television show. Currently Zoids Versus is only planned for a Japanese release for Summer 2002. It doesn't seem likely it will release here in the US.
